Thanks.

The database is named peq.

Looks like I will be wiping the machine and starting over, got the error:

mysql> INSERT INTO tblLoginServerAccounts (AccountName, AccountPassword, Account
Email, LastLoginDate, LastIPAddress) VALUES('*******', sha('*******'), 'fake
name@hotmail.com', now(), '192.168.0.12');
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'peq.tblloginserveraccounts' doesn't exist

The database name you want to use for that step is PEQLoginDB assuming you followed the guide.

So this ,,mysql -u root -p peq,, should be mysql -u root -p peqlogindb ?

Thanks that was it. Ok I have finished the rest of the quide. Here is the question, how do you start this and how do you create accounts?

Sorry for all the dumb questions.

You start it with the start.bat file in the server directory.

You create account by using this query again with different values:

INSERT INTO tblLoginServerAccounts (AccountName, AccountPassword, AccountEmail, LastLoginDate, LastIPAddress) VALUES('huppyname', sha('huppypassword'), 'fakename@hotmail.com', now(), '192.168.1.103');

OK, I cannot find start.bat anywhere ;/ I did find a serverstart.bat..

cd C:\eqemu
start eqemuloginserver.exe
echo
echo

cd C:\eqemu
start world.exe
echo waiting a bit for world to finish loading...
echo.
echo.
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > nul

echo starting zone
start eqlaunch.exe zone
exit

This the same?

That worked kinda, I am getting the Error: 10061. It could not connect to the loginserver 192.168.0.12:5999. What file do I need to go to so I can check these settings?

Changed from :5999 to 5998 in settings, but getting this error now ;/

Dhcp?
 

Is there a way to put a range of IP Addresses into this? I use DHCP on my lan and I would rather not have to static IP all of my pcs if I can. Or does this line not really block an account from logging in based on IP?

I think if we removed all references to minilogin and the eqemuloginserver, it would be 10x easier for people to get servers running.

Seems like everybody who can't run a server feels the need to run minilogin or run their own login server(which is completely pointless for 99% of people).

If you don't even know that SQL commands don't go into a command prompt, you should not be trying to set up your own login server as well. Get a server running on the public login... then if you can think of a reason to run your own login, then try.

Reading my mind... :)

Caryatis nailed this one. But aside from that, Reserved DHCP is your friend. If your router can't do that, then get a new one.

So your point is to not try and help then?

Their point is that you are trying to do something that is probably more advanced than you can handle. Many have done this before, so it does work when done properly and you already have a 3 page support thread on it so far.

Unless you will not have internet connectivity when you are playing, there is almost no reason to do a private server setup. Minilogin is terrible, and the EQEmuLoginServer can be a little tough to get setup properly. Making a public server that uses the public Login Server is far easier than either of the private solutions and you can still run it like a private server, just not offline.

This thread is getting long enough that anyone that hasn't already been following it from the start isn't going to want to get caught up on the whole story (myself included). If you really have to run a private server and want to get better support, you might want to try solving 1 issue per thread. Maybe make a new thread explaining your current issue and stuff without going over all of the stuff that may have already been resolved.

Most people just use a public server setup, at least initially. Since less people use private servers, it means there are less people with the right experience to help support you.

What does the 1 warning mean?
